La enfermedad aparece como signo de un malestar psicologico

Si estas interesado en ver como uno por medio de su cuerpo expresa sus mecanismos de defenza psicologicos. O si eres psicoterapeuta gestalt o te interesa esta rama, de como el cuerpo nos dice en que estamos fallando te recomiendo leer este libro. Algo apegado a las enseñanzas del eneagrama, uno puede identificar varios numeros solo leyendo este libro, el mecanismo es casi identico a esta rama. Es indispensable leer la primer parte sobre todo si no conoces la gestalt. O nunca has escuchado de que es un sintoma. Es trabajar en uno mismo por medio de la transformacion psicologica.

A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE

One man's opinion: A heady, fantastic read for those who are open to the broader viewpoint. To me, the book says basically that we need to evolve away from hating, disliking, shunning or rejecting certain ideas, people, places, and so on. We need to become whole. Jesus said we should "love one another," and I believe Paul Twitchell said, "Never find fault, never criticize." One reason for this is, as Healing Power points out, things we reject/hate just show up in our lives as illness. They show up so we can confront them - because we must! Life wants us to become whole, loving, enlightened - however you like to put it. And there's much more here. Highly recommended - along with The Flute of God, another major, more-than-inspiring book.

BE YOUR OWN EXPERT GUIDE IN TRUE LEARNING

Now I don't need to write my book anymore. It is already written, and probably much better...Rather than blocking or destroying illness, we can learn from it. Paradoxical, yes. Give a minute of your thoughts to this affirmation. Our body is just showing us the way we were unable to follow in our free consciousness. Learn from your illness, then your illness becomes useless and fades away. Illness represents the last opportunity for evolution. Whatever you do for healing, pay simultaneous attention to the only true healing. Take the challenge!

A very useful radical , exceptional book

This book is for the brave few, who want to know why something happens to them , why they get diseases, how to interpret them, and more importantly to take ownership and responsibility for their illness, rather than blaming germs, viruses, genes and the like. The style of the authors is about the best that I have ever read, honest, blunt, and to the point.A must book for the few people who are ready to look within.

Great way to look at illness

This book is for select few, who are willing to see reality as reality - not fantasy. It deals with how mental inclinations lead to illness and shows means to have power over illness
